Incident: Unauthorized access to the Canny feedback platform exposed enterprise customer data via a Salesforce integration.
Impact: Leakage of business contact details and corporate contract information for high-value clients.
Attacker: Unidentified threat actors
Analysis: This incident highlights the critical risk associated with third-party integrations and over-privileged API access. By compromising Canny, attackers leveraged an existing connection to Canva’s Salesforce account to pivot into enterprise customer data. While core product databases remained secure, the exposure of contract and contact details facilitates highly targeted social engineering campaigns.
